The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) on Thursday clarified that the government’s order asking the Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF) canteens to sell only Indian products has not been withdrawn after several media reports said that the Centre had taken back its decision.

Earlier, media reports, including cnbctv18.com, had said that the MHA had put its decision on hold. The report was based on the order by KPKB.

“Some media reports have been confusing the KPKB order to put purchases on hold, with MHA’s decision to sell only made in India products at the CAPF canteens & stores across the country,” tweeted the spokesperson of MHA, adding “MHA decision still stands.”
